Forecasts

Valsorpresa (9/4), Gone For Tea (9/4), One Night Standard (4/1), Mount Anglesby (12/1), Kinbara Firstdraft (16/1), Cape Bridgewater (16/1), Cathedral Rocks (16/1), Rhythm And Tyne (22/1), Chica Linda (28/1), Garrick Painter (28/1), Point Gellibrand (33/1), Bold Brook (33/1), Sky Legend (40/1), Alright George (50/1), Bondi Boy Blue (125/1)

GONE FOR TEA remains with potential in this sphere back from 5 months off and can strike. The returning Valsorpresa and Cape Bridgewater are a couple of the other likely players.
